DIY: Heart-print Canvas Mini-Purse

I love making my own purse using canvas fabric because aside from it's texture, you can actually paint and customize it.


This little purse is very convenient to use especially for those who wanted their bags organized. You can store up little things from pins to coins. This is a quick sew and uses very little fabric.











MATERIALS:

Fabric: Canvas, silk (floral print) and pongee (white) fabric 9x5 inch
Textile paint: Red
Zipper: 5 inch long
Pencil
Piece of paper 

DIRECTIONS:

1. Align the canvas and silk cloth together with both wrong sides facing out.

2. Sew the both sides of the cloth. (the longer side)

This is how it will look like after sewing them together right side facing out.

3. Align the pongee with the sewn cloth and pin it with both wrong side facing out.

4. Sew both side. (the longer side)

5. After sewing, this is how it will look turning the right side out. 

6. Iron to flatten.

7. Fold it in half. Put a piece of paper (magazine) inside so the paint won't leak on the other side of the cloth.

8. To print, cut out a heart shape on a piece of paper and place it on top of the cloth where you want to print.

9. Dip the eraser of the pencil in the textile paint and start printing around the heart shape paper.

10. Print the way you want it. Remove the paper when you're done. This is how I painted mine.

11. Sew the zippers on.

12. Turn the right side in and sew open sides.

13. When done, turn the right side out.
